INDIO >> Wearing a white dress and strumming a classical guitar, Shelby Lynne crooned into a microphone Friday afternoon on the Palomino Stage at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival.

Lynne was backed up by a steel guitarist, bassist, drummer, keyboardist and singer, and sang her popular songs “Thought It Would be Easier,” “She Knows Where She Goes” and “Call Me Up,” a gospel-influenced song from her new record.

Lynne also covered “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me” by Dusty Springfield, to which many people slow-danced with their significant other.

“I love ya’ll,” she told the audience. “Thank you. So much love tonight.”

As her band kept playing, she tossed out paper fans to the audience, waved and blew kisses while she walked off stage.
